Busselton is a 2 and a half hour drive south of Perth and offers a great base to explore the entire Margaret River Region during a family holiday or getaway.

Our Family Holidays to Busselton with Kids

We went on a short family holiday to Busselton with kids with my sister’s family a couple of years ago. You can read all about that trip to Busselton with kids HERE.

This time however it was just us – my partner Steve and our 7-year-old son Lewis. We opted to stay at the family friendly holiday park BIG4 Beachlands, in hopes of more children for Lewis to play with. We were not disappointed and you can read all about the BIG4 Beachlands Holiday Park HERE.

Eating out on a family holiday to Busselton with kids

There is so much good food around Busselton and the Margaret River Region that I barely had to cook on our small family holiday. We found a few nice restaurants and you can read my reviews about them on Trip Advisor.

It is a great place to go for a romantic weekend, Before kids we use to spend many weekend getaways in the region and back in the day it was the honeymoon location for Perth people with many including my parents staying at the picturesque colonial Caves House Hotel in Yallingup just down the road fro Ngilgi Cave.

There are also several more caves to explore in the region (Jewel and Mamoth Caves), the rugged coastline is stunning with the Geographe Bay national park sitting at the tip of the coastline jutting out to sea. Apart from the wineries the ocean is the other famous draw card of this region. It offers fantastic surfing and there are several world competitions held here each year. As a result of all the great wineries there are now plenty of locally produced gourmet foods that other tastings throughout the day.

If you are looking for a bit more of a themepark type entertainment there are several mazes we have visited the Amaze’n Margaret River and Yallingup Maze both good fun for all ages. In Busselton town is the Busselton Jetty the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere, you can catch the little train or walk to the end where there is an aqua interpretation centre under the jetty. There is also mini golf, archery, or cycle along the coastline.
